Predictions

Post by Heiko Klemm »

Hello Forum,

I'm kind of new to PLS.
I consider it to be an alternative to (or better choice than) linear-regression, because whenever I want to do predictions using multiple regression techniques with 'bad' data (multi-collinearity, a lot of missings etc.) the results are too erroneous.
I got to the point, where I can evaluate structural hyphotheses, but how do I actually predict my Y?
Where Do I find the equivalent to my betas in linear regression? What would I have to do, to come up with an Regression-equation?

Thanx and Kind Regards
